Reference: PA1-o-390

Description: Early photographs of New Zealand, most taken by Hart, Campbell & Co, and Wheeler & Son. Inserted in a pocket attached inside the front cover are two items. One an old print of a hut at Milford, taken by Hart, Campbell & Co, and the other a newspaper cutting (Evening Star Friday March 23, 1934), of Dunedin from View Street, and Dunedin from Dowling Street, both taken in 1861. The photograph of a Cobb & Co. coach at Palmerston, has the caption `2. Cobb's coach. E Devine, driver. Palmerston, Otago, N.Z. 1876' and the photographers are named as Hart, Campbell & Co. One set of photographs have no captions and no identification of photographer. They follow a group of men travelling along a river bed, with small rowing boats, on river banks, and at the foot of waterfalls. Another sequence shows native bush, tree ferns and rivers. Two views (pages 8, 10) show Linnburn Station. One is unidentified in the album, but identified from the same image at Te Papa (digital view on the internet), the other closer view of the homestead has a caption. Relationship complexity - The photograph of Cobb's Coach at Palmerston (p. 7), is the same image as one at PAColl-7344-54 (Box 16), with the same caption `2. Cobb's coach. E Devine, driver. Palmerston, Otago, N.Z. 1865', but the photographers are identified as Hart, Campbell & Co. on this image, but identified as Burton Bros. on the PAColl copy. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Date: 1843 - 1844

From: [Various artists] :[Mrs Hobson's album. 1843-1845]

By: Mitford, John Guise, 1822-1854

Reference: E-216-f-111

Description: View from above Grafton Gully, covered in dense bush, with low fenced hills and Governor Hobson's grave in the cemetery in the centre. A road runs past the cemetery towards Government House in the middle distance. Several other houses can also be seen. In the distance across the water, the flagstaff marks Mount Victoria, with Rangitoto beyond that. The flat island further off, left of centre is Tiritiri. Painted in early 1843, before the artist moved to an appointment at Russell. A fence has been raised around Governor Hobson's grave. The funeral had taken place in November 1842. Compare Mitford's very similar view at E-216-f-041. The view is attributed to Edward Ashworth by Janet Paul in Mrs Hobson's album (Auckland, 1990) p. 149. However there are strong stylistic similarities to the work of Mitford, and it seems more likely that he painted two views from similar spots for Mrs Hobson Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 195 x 301 mm

Date: 1870

By: Outhwaite, Anne Jane Louisa, 1842-1925

Date: 1886

By: Stoddart, Margaret Olrog, 1865-1934

Reference: A-234-016

Description: Shows a beach or the banks of a stream, looking inland to windswept scrub and a small stream. In the right foreground is a skull and other bones. The scene is almost identical to a work in the Nelson Provincial Museum, entitled" "A Moriori burial place, Wharekauri, Chatham Islands, 25-1-1889". It is likely that the artist stayed at the Wharekauri homestead at the north of the island. She visited several times, including both 1886 and 1889 (See Julie King's "Flowers into landscape", (Christchurch, 1997), pages 55-58).
